cheekyboy Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 The following was published in today's Bangkok Post, Front Page, 2nd head. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES 'Kung Fu' star Carradine dead By: WASSAYOS NGAMKHAM Published: 5/06/2009 at 12:00 AM Newspaper section: News American actor David Carradine has been found dead in a closet in a hotel room in Bangkok. Police have not confirmed whether he took his own life or was murdered. The naked body of the 72-year-old actor was found by a housekeeper in a closet in room number 352 of Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel in the Lumpini area at 11am yesterday. Lumpini police said the body of Carradine was found curled up inside the wardrobe with one end of a shoelace tied around his penis and the other end fastened around his neck. Both of his hands were bound with a cord which was also tied around his neck, said an officer at the station who requested anonymity. Forensic experts said Carradine had probably died between 12 and 24 hours before his body was found. They said there were no injury marks on his body and no evidence of a struggle having taken place in the room. Mysteriously, a footprint found on the bed did not match the shoes worn by Carradine. There was a glass of water in the room. Experts were checking to see if the drink had been tampered with. Police refused to give further details, saying they needed to gather more evidence to determine the cause of death. Carradine was in Bangkok to star in a new movie, Strand. He arrived with a film crew in Bangkok and checked in at the hotel a few days ago. He rose to fame in the TV series Kung Fu, which ran from 1972 to 1975, playing Kwai Chang Caine, a monk and martial arts expert who roamed the American West. He went on to win a Golden Globe best actor award for his role in the movie Bound for Glory, the life story of folk singer Woody Guthrie, in 1976. He also starred in the Quentin Tarantino films Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, made in 2003 and 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuytrede Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 "Getting a bit strange now. Bound hands??????? Doesn't sound like a suicide to me." But it does sound like suicide to the Thai police. Actually I was doubting it was suicide until I read his hands were tied behind the back. That makes it a clear-cut case of farang suicide in Thailand. It would even be more obvious had he also shot himself first through the head and then through the heart, severed his head and hung it from a bridge.

Old Hippie Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Associated Press - June 5, 2009 2:53 AM ET BANGKOK (AP) - Thai police say that American actor David Carradine, a cult star best known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu," may have died from accidental suffocation, after authorities found him dead in a Bangkok hotel closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals. The 72-year-old actor's body was discovered Thursday hanging in the closet of his luxury hotel room. Police initially said they were investigating and suspected suicide, though 1 of Carradine's managers questioned that theory. Police Lt. Gen. Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha has told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his genitals and another rope around his neck. He says it was unclear whether Carradine died of suicide, suffocation or heart failure due to an orgasm. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
